The cheque had been delivered by Ms. Alaa Al-Dulaimi, Acting Executive Director of the ZFE to Dr. Mamdouh Al-Amin Director-General of the Egyptian Red Crescent. They discussed the ways of cooperation between the two sides to serve the neediest of Egypt.

In the framework of the immediate assistance to the victims of floods, Zakat Foundation of Egypt will send a medical aid convoy to Aswan in March, comprising senior doctors and consultants in all medical specialties.

It is worthy to mention that Zakat Foundation of Egypt is one of the projects of ICC. It is a contemporary entity derived from the juristic provisions of Zakat (alms) as it interests in spreading the awareness of the importance of Zakat as well as the economic and social role played by it in the Islamic nation’s life. ZFE works to a contemporary perspective to distribute the Zakat in its eight channels that God Almighty identified.
